At least Starmer like Wilson and unlike Blair had the guts to tell America to get lost.

Draft IcE and Jan 6 criminals. No need for training them. Just send them in.

BYOB by System of a Down pretty much summarizes my feelings on this.

That one's easy to deal with.

Keep bombing until gas is $8 a gallon in July, then stop bombing, make funny peace noises, and then when gas is back to $7 a gallon in October claim "Yay!! Look how much Trump and the (R)'s got gas prices down from the DEMOCRAT PRICES!!"

And "Trump Reduced Gas Prices" will be the chyron on Fox 24x7, and enough people will believe it.

When I found myself on the bus to Charlestown back in '69, I couldn't help but notice the more than a few carrying, in some cases, bulging file folders. I had nothing and started to get a bit nervous. Turns out they don't make orthopedic combat boots, For the first and only time my club feet proved an asset. The officer at the final desk gruffly told me to "get the fuck outta here". I actually had the temerity to ask if I still got the free lunch.

Hey, this is wonkworld! Don’t leave us hanging! Did you get the free lunch and if so, what was it?

My older brother had a birthdate that was number six in the lottery. So he went into it with his eyes wide open, and signed up rather than waiting to get drafted. He spent four years in Fort Ord processing discharge papers.

Ta, Marcie. No. Just no. I and a great group of other hikers took American boys across the border with Canada on foot. Many of them had never before spent a night in the woods. I can't do that again; getting a little old for that.

Draft Barron? $100 says bone spurs are hereditary.

Oh, I’m sure they’re paying a lot more than that to find out the same thing. Lotsa lotsa more.

If Trump does revive the draft then Barron and Kai Trump better be the first two in line.

Two chances of that going well: slim and fat. If you think Vietnam was a problem, you ain't seen nothin' yet when it comes to Iran.

Great piece but someone aged 62 would’ve been born in 1964.

Colleen's avatar

Thank you for that catch! I was just trying to figure out if it's that maybe they're still 62 at heart.

War was mot declared by Congress!

Donald Trump will declare unconditional surrender, meaning that he is giving up and gonna play with his toys elsewhere.

"forced to have an old man to touch his feet to dodge service"

Fact not in evidence that the doctor who wrote the note even looked at Trump's skanky feet much less touched them.

1. I wish I could click this articles' "like" button a couple of hundred times

2. I'm one of those Vietnam era kids who had to deal with the draft. I've got thoughts ... not very nice ones, so I'll keep them to myself

She’s of military age, let her go first.
